I went on the Waverley two weeks ago on the Ailsa Craig cruise with my family and a friend I had brought up from London. I can't believe I was on it 60 years ago when it was first built. It is pat of my child hood

I don't know where it was launched at the time. I was only about 7 years of age and I didn't think to ask it.
